Steven Spielberg’s old fashioned ways
July 3rd, 2011 - 2:01 am ICT by IANSLondon, July 3 (IANS) Hollywood mogul Steven Spielberg thinks making films has got easier as technology advances, but he prefers the old-fashioned craft he grew up with.
The “E.T” director believes many people can now make films by even using a mobile phone to shoot something, reports contactmusic.com.
“All kids have to do these days is take their cellphone, flip it open and make a movie, but I like the way it started,” he said.
“It wasn’t a point-and-click art form, it was a craft. It involved solvents, photo-chemistry, cutting out poster board with industrial scissors and getting your fingers fused with Elmer’s glue. It was all homemade stuff. If I was a chef, a microwave would be my worst enemy. I would want to do it the old-fashioned way,” he added.
